JAMMA Switchers - 2, 4, 6, 8-way
« on: October 10, 2017, 10:44:12 am »
2-way switcher = 1 mainboard only ($80 shipped, USA 48 states)
4-way switcher = 1 mainboard, 1 remote board ($120 shipped)
6-way switcher = 1 mainboard, 2 remote boards ($160 shipped)
8-way switcher = 1 mainboard, 3 remote boards ($200 shipped)
Power and signal cables are included with each remote board purchase.

You can now purchase these via paypal directly from my website.
If you are outside of the USA, please contact me for a shipping quote.

---- Details ---
The goal of this product was to build upon the advantages of the cheap 6in1 Jamma Switcher, while addressing the disadvantages.

List of features:
  • Only one game board powered at a time, power sourced from mainboard. (or each remote board could have it's own power supply if you prefer)
  • No Jamma extension harnesses needed.
  • 3 ft cables adequate for remote mounting.
  • 2 Jamma boards supported per cable set.
  • Quadrupled the +5V capacity on the relays to support 20Amps.
  • Added -5V to be controlled by a relay.
  • pins e,27 can be either grounded or signal by changing a jumper.
  • No goofy remote. Switch games by pressing P1Start+P2Start simultaneously for 1.5seconds. Or remove the onboard jumper and connect to 1 or 2 buttons of your choice to switch games.

My website provides some additional documentation

Are these one offs or do you sell these all the time?
Also do you ship to UK?

Firstly, Thanks yotsuya for the positive reference. 
I've mostly been on KLOV prior to now.  I thought I should reach out to other forums as well. 

I sell a lot of these, and plan to continue as long as I can.  I will ship to the UK, please email or message me your address for a shipping quote. 

I'm a hobbyist that designs and assembles these myself.  I started out building add-on 3/4player and MK condenser boards to accompany the Chinese 6in1 switcher.  Then started modifying those switchers because there was a need.  I finally got tired of modifying someone else's switchers and decided to design my own.  I'm also continuing to design and add other circuit boards to my inventory as well.

Thanks I will drop you a msg sometime down the line.

I have a Jamma converted Area 51 coming my way and would like tobe able to get a few other lightgun jamma games in there as well.
